Worst estate in your town?

lukesmom · 07-03-2014 06:09PM #1

Was watching the controversial 'Benefits Street' I had recorded so just out of interest, what's the worst estate in your area? By 'worst' I mean most rundown, highest rate of anti-social behaviour etc.

Having watched Benefits Street, it's not much different to Sesame Street...

Both have a big bird, a bloke living out of a bin and people trying to learn the alphabet.

How about you do something really outlandish and offer your own opinion first.

That gang living on shrewsbury road are the worst in my town. They rob the taxpayer and the banks and think the law does not apply to them.

We don't really have one in our town, they've kind of been dispersed throughout various normal estates in the town. Regeneration is not good for surrounding counties, it just redistributes the scumbags from a city to nearby towns so they get to destroy other neighbourhoods.

We don't have a worst estate because they're all equally ****

There's bits of otherwise perfectly nice estates that have some not very nice folk living in them in my area of Dublin,bit unfair to tarnish whole estates as being rough.

Our estate is run by an ould one named Mimi and her mad sons. They are shameless.

Not sure it would be fair to start rhyming off certain areas to be honest. I actually watched all of the benefits street episodes, it was hard to watch because they're so accepting of the lives they live. Maybe they just don't know any better and have no motivation in life.

How about you do something really outlandish and answer the question without trying to be a smart arse all the time?

I live rural, once i looked out the window and there was a cow in my front garden, how's that for anti social behaviour?

Me? · 07-03-2014 06:43PM

Is Super Rush still a mod? I bet he is fuming with a statement like that and is about to evict someone from the AH estate.

The Northside.

I could pick one out as not being quite as nice as the others but there's none that are all that bad.

dgt · 07-03-2014 07:48PM

I can't decide which one is the worst

mikemac1 · 07-03-2014 07:52PM

The worst estate in each town is likely to begin with Saint

Worst estate in my hometown begins with 'saint' always found it funny.

The Backwards Man · 07-03-2014 07:57PM

I'll tell mine if the OP tells.

degsie · 07-03-2014 08:01PM

I could name one, but the other scummy areas would be put out.

Yep! Had that as well, a bit of a mixed blessing, it shat on the roses - good,

but the hooves made holes in the lawn - bad! :mad:

There's a place not far from here full of robbing cúnts and drug dealing bastards.
Foxrock I think it's called.

Know how you feel I had Three goats and two chickens in mine yesterday morning. I thought there was going to be a gang fight

I happen to know that one particular estate of 80 houses has only 5 men actually named as cotenants. There maybe unofficial men living there but its hugely predominantly female lone parents. And that is the most troublesome estate in our town. Another estate has a bad drugs problem but this estate has far more domestic disputes.

Worst estate in your town?
